• A: No, it is illegal to burn within the city limits of Des Moines, including the annexed areas of Warren County. The Polk County Board of Health, Rules and Regulations, Chapter V, Air Pollution Control states, in part: “… It shall be unlawful for any persons to open burn or to permit open burning of any refuse, rubbish, garbage, landscape waste or other combustible material within the cities of Des Moines…from any source from and after September 21, 1983.” For additional information regarding open burning, call the Fire Prevention Bureau @ (515) 283-4240.
